    Maybe rockets legend Lowry can do a victory tour and come back to Play for us. He’ll have a lot to teach Murry.

    Tillman needs to watch the Raptors

    Pascal Siakam was a 27th overall pick.

    It’d be nice if the Rockets had a chance to draft even late in the 1st round instead of giving those picks away

    you would need talent drafting. You would also need to hold on to picks instead of dumping them for cash.

    One 1st rounder just to dump RA. Another 1st to dump Knight's contract for Shump's expiring.

    If he's watching, it's clearly for Ibaka.. He fits our 3 and D philosophy... And he's past his prime, which is perfect..

    It's far easier to whiff on a early-mid 20s pick than to have that pick turn out to be a Siakam. Come on, man.

    Gotta love these guys. "Ooooh, a former Rocket player's team won a finals game! I'll start a troll thread that makes no sense whatsover!"

    Raptors put all length and height on the court, Gasol, Siakim, Kawhi, Ibaka al used their length to shut down Warriors, all while still running the floor and scoring on fastbreaks

    mean while we play 6'5 Tucker at center, EG at power forward, but we still can't make a basket on a 3 on 1 fast break

    So what if KD returns game 3 and leads warriors to the chip? You think he’ll leave then?

    Not sure if you’ve noticed, but the raptors were built in basically the same way the rockets were. The one exception is DeRozan but even he was eventually moved for a bigger star.

    Mannnn, I really hate the Warriors but these "Rockets fans" that cheers for Toronto just to discredit our own team makes it hard for root for em.

    Yeah I want us to be the team that dethrones the dubs. We’ve had 5 tries. It would hurt me more that the raptors do it on their first try

    Murray: He Is not good for the rockets system, we do not need play a good defense, we just need a player to take three, not two. Three is always better than two, do your math.

    for anyone reading, keep in mind this is also someone who also "called" trading our 1st rounder for iman shumpert a good move
